We tried to check LinkinChat. Every page we hit came back 404.
getlinkin.chat's homepage, its setup guide, and the www version all returned "not found." Its app login subdomain has an expired SSL certificate. We can't say for certain the company has shut down — but we also can't recommend a tool we couldn't get to load. If you were looking for working Instagram DM automation, here's what winksend does instead.

What we actually checked
Not a guess — here's exactly what we tried.
404 — Not Found
- getlinkin.chat/ (homepage)
- www.getlinkin.chat/
- getlinkin.chat/instagram-linkinchat-setup-guide (a page still indexed in search results)
Expired SSL certificate
app.getlinkin.chat — the login/app subdomain — has a certificate that's expired. Browsers will show a security warning if you try to sign in.
To be fair: none of this is proof the company has permanently shut down. Sites go down temporarily, domains lapse, certificates get missed. But we're not going to write a page pretending we tested a tool we couldn't reach — if you're evaluating LinkinChat right now, try the site yourself first and see if it loads for you.
For context
What LinkinChat reportedly did, last we could tell.
Since we couldn't reach the site directly, this comes from a secondary source (a competitor's own comparison post) — treat it as historical context, not a current fact.

FAQ
Questions people ask about LinkinChat.
Is LinkinChat still working?
We couldn't confirm it as of our last check. The marketing site (getlinkin.chat) returned a 404 on every page we tried, including the homepage, and the app subdomain (app.getlinkin.chat) had an expired SSL certificate. That combination is a strong sign the product is currently broken or abandoned — sites do occasionally have temporary outages, so we'd recommend checking directly before assuming either way, but we wouldn't rely on it working right now.
What happened to getlinkin.chat?
We don't know for certain — there's no public shutdown announcement we found. What we can confirm directly: the homepage and other pages we checked returned 404s, and the app login page's SSL certificate had expired. Whether that's a temporary technical issue or a sign the company has stopped operating, we can't say with confidence.
What did LinkinChat offer when it was live?
Based on secondary sources (we couldn't reach the site directly to verify), LinkinChat offered comment-to-DM automation with a next-post auto-trigger, a free tier, and a $14.99/month paid plan with unlimited DMs and contacts. It reportedly didn't support story reply automation or DM-to-DM keyword triggers. Treat these as unverified, last-known details rather than current facts.
Is winksend a safe alternative if LinkinChat isn't working?
Yes — winksend is a live, working Instagram DM automation tool on the official Meta API, with comment-to-DM, story reply, live keyword, and DM keyword automation all confirmed and working today. A free plan (100 automations/month, no card) lets you test it directly.
